The battle was over temporarily, and Zhou Yuji came up, and what he saw were the wounded soldiers who were constantly being transported back along the road, and the floating corpses all over the field.

Many soldiers were disposing of corpses, they were sifting between friend and foe, and their warriors had to bring them back, even if it was a corpse. Zhou Yuji was silent and continued to walk, he didn't know how many of his old subordinates were among these corpses, Zhou Yuji stopped, and he fell into deep sorrow.

"Father, you're here!"

Zhou Yuji turned his head, and Zhou Huchen appeared at his side with a helmet in his hand.

"Everyone has their own family and their own life, but with the invasion of foreign races, no one can continue to live peacefully, then we have no choice but to fight!" Zhou Huchen saw the grief on Zhou Yuji's face, and this grief was not his mood.

Zhou Yuji continued to be silent, and he quietly watched the soldiers busy.

"It's time to withdraw the troops, for the future!"

Turning his head, Zhou Yuji looked at Zhou Huchen, since he had already repelled Jiannu, he didn't understand Zhou Huchen's withdrawal of troops, and he didn't pursue when Jiannu retreated.

"Our army is dominated by firearms, there is water everywhere, and the gunpowder has been damp, as you can see, such an environment is not conducive to the use of firearms. Moreover, such combat casualties are too great to must

Choose a battlefield to solve the slaves. On the other hand, the Jiannu army has also gone down to Huguang, how long can Li Zicheng's remnants hold out? If we lead an army, what will happen in the future? ”

These explanations are very reasonable, in fact, although Zhou Huchen's firearms unit has reduced its power, it still has strong combat effectiveness, and the dampness of gunpowder is just an excuse. What's more, the rainstorm has passed, and the guns and artillery are ready for use.

Zhou Yuji lowered his head slightly, and soon he finally spoke: "This kind of battle is indeed too many casualties, do you want to lure the enemy to Yangzhou?" Can't you keep it going? ”

"Father, it's useless for Jiannu to be blocked here. They will continue to move south, and then go straight down to Liuhe to make a detour to attack Yangzhou. Instead of fighting with Jiannu or returning to help, it is better to put it, Yangzhou is our world, whether it is land and water, it belongs to us, let us teach Jiannu a good lesson in Yangzhou, and then we will have the final say. Zhou Huchen replied very resolutely, with sufficient reasons, and his eyes revealed passion.

"Yangzhou can be defended, but what should I do if the Jiannu army in Huguang comes over?" Zhou Yuji still has questions:

"Is it that the Jiannu of Huguang came over and joined forces to capture Yangzhou that we defended?"

It seems that Zhou Yuji has wavered. Zhou Huchen almost didn't say that Jiannu, who entered Huguang, would actually fall into a long battle, and Duoduo would definitely continue to go south for political reasons, and Yangzhou was the first hurdle that Duoduo had to pass.

Zhou Yuji fell into thought, and soon after, he agreed: "Since this is the case, then we will evacuate as soon as possible and arrange operations in Yangzhou." ”

Zhou Huchen did not show any particular excitement, he continued: "After lunch, father, you will lead the army to evacuate, and I will take some soldiers to continue to confuse the enemy army, so that we can buy more time. ”

Nodding. Zhou Yuji looked at Zhou Huchen: "Don't allow any mistakes, I know that Jiannu can't catch up with you." ”

This steel-like father actually showed his fatherly side, and Zhou Huchen put on his helmet casually: "Father, what do you have to worry about?" I haven't married Hui'er home yet! ”

Zhou Yuji didn't say anything, he turned around and left. This majestic back made Zhou Huchen feel his liliang

Duoduo gritted his teeth in resentment now, Zhou Yuji was too strong, this was simply beyond his imagination, and Sancheng's new annexed army disappeared. The Eight Banners soldiers under him lost nearly 10,000 soldiers. It was simply intolerable, Duoduo wanted to kill, he wanted to vent his anger at this failure.

Who did Codotor kill? These newly attached Han troops could not be killed. After all, it's also liliang, and there is not a single Ming people around, and they don't have to be killed, and of course their own people can't be killed. The only one who could be killed was Zhou Yuji's army, but Duoduo shuddered when he thought of this battle.

What does it mean to be fearless to death? What does it mean to be brave? The soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty are representatives, but now, Duoduo has to admit that Zhou Yuji's army is also such a representative.

Go on the offensive?

Duoduo didn't want to fight like this, he remembered the surrendered Ming army officer who led the way, Duoduo was still sensible, and he quickly calmed down. Duoduo knew that the reason for this defeat was not because of this surrenderer, but because Zhou Yuji's resistance was too strong, and Duoduo wanted this Liu Zeqing's subordinate to continue to lead the way south.

This Liu Zeqing's subordinate was still alive, the Qing army's attack failed, and Duoduo's call made him tremble.

When this man who was afraid of death respectfully signed up, he also saw that Duoduo did not blame him, and this traitor could be regarded as letting go of his fear of death.

On the side of the Ming army, Zhou Yuji's actions were very fast, and the lunch was very simple, quickly packed up all kinds of supplies, brought the corpses of the sacrificed soldiers, and Zhou Yuji began to evacuate first.

Zhou Huchen continued to stand on top of this line of defense, and behind him was empty.

Five thousand soldiers, this is the force that Zhou Huchen used to keep to confuse the enemy, these five thousand soldiers all have a common characteristic, they can run and have a lot of energy.

What is amazing is that Duoduo's decision is the same as Zhou Yuji's, he is ready to leave a part of the army for show, and set off for the south early tomorrow morning. Who knows, Zhou Yuji actually acted faster than him, and retreated directly.

Such a big action could not be concealed from Dodor, and when the news was reported to Dodor as quickly as the scouts could, Dodor suddenly came to his senses; He can't afford to lose, and Zhou Yuji can't afford to lose.

It seems that Zhou Yuji is still a little afraid, when he withdrew his troops, Zhou Yuji did not pursue at that time, and now he is in a hurry to withdraw from the battlefield, it seems that Zhou Yuji must have suffered extremely heavy losses. Duoduo regretted it, he gritted his teeth with regret, his withdrawal order at that time was a little early, if he continued to attack, maybe he would have defeated Zhou Yuji's army at that time.

"The whole army is in full formation, pursue!"

Duoduo's army was more tired than Zhou Yuji's army, and it was a rush to fight, and the problem of food in this environment was difficult to solve, and the physical exertion of the soldiers could not be fully replenished. Zhou Yuji was on the defensive, and his physical strength was more abundant than his army, and Duoduo suddenly realized that this pursuit was not easy.

The rain didn't stop, and a drop of rain still fell from time to time.

Zhou Huchen stood on the superimposed cart and held a clairvoyant mirror, and he saw the actions of the Jiannu army very clearly.

"Good response! These Jiannu still have some ability! Jumping out of the car, Zhou Huchen ordered: "Let's also withdraw!" ”

The chase began, and Zhou Huchen was not worried, because the large army led by Zhou Yuji had been walking for more than an hour, and Jiannu's cavalry could not use the speed to get up quickly. Under the same arduous conditions, Zhou Huchen had full confidence to compete with Jiannu in physical strength.

Physical strength is trained, and Zhou Huchen has always believed in this: "Drag them to death for me!" ”

With a roar, Zhou Huchen turned his head and led the team to leave (to be continued......)
